Eduard PE for Trumpeter 1/350 USS Iwo Jima

Specifically produced to be used with Trumpeter’s 1/350 USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7) (Kit No.05615), this is the first of five 2017 releases by Eduard for this Wasp-class amphibious assault ship. Commissioned in 2001, this 40,000 ton plus ship was named after the famous Second World War Battle of Iwo Jima.

This PE set is for the assault craft units and this high quality sheet of extra parts will transform the ships LCACs (Landing Craft Air Cushion). The sheet measures 210mm x 135mm and my estimation of 200 parts is literally that; my eyes can only squint for so long so I stopped counting in the hundreds!

There will be no turning back if you are serious about ‘upgrading’ your USS Iwo Jima kit and by the time you have bought all five sets of PE you will have spent more than main kit costs. However, if you want it to stand out from the crowd this is the way to go!

Thanks very much to Eduard for our sample which is available at www.eduard.com and all major outlets and online model stores.
